I'm wondering if my grandfather, Albert Joshua Mason, born 1889, might not have worked for the circus in the years before 1910. If you have any information on this or on where I might obtain information, it would be greatly appreciated. He married a Stella Shaw who graduated from the 8th grade in Fairbury in 1910. I do have it on my list to go to Circus World but you may have information from before the circus was sold to Ringling Bros.--do I have that right?
